ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a magneto motor having a stator with single-arm tooth holders, whereby the self-coupling phenomenon of magnetic lines of force caused by high electric loads can be eliminated.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
When a motor operates under a high load, it is necessary to increase the exciting current of exciting coils of a stator thereof so as to generate a relatively raised output torsion, as illustrated by the following equations:
E=K

wherein E is the counter electromotive force voltage (volt), T is the output torsion (N−m), K
E
is the counter electromotive force coefficient, K
T
is the torsion coefficient, &OHgr; is the rotation speed of the armature (rad/sec), I
a
is the armature current (ampere), B is the magnetic flux density of the air gap (gauss), D is the outer diameter of the armature (cm), L is the superimposition thickness (cm), and Z is the total number of turns of conductors.
As can be seen from the above formulas, the counter electromotive force coefficient K
E
equals the torsion coefficient K
T
. Therefore, in order to have a larger output torsion T, it is necessary to raise the armature current I
a
. The raised armature current (i.e., the exciting current) will inevitably generate an electromagnetic field, whose magnetic lines of force flow from tooth-holding ends of stator tooth portions through permanent magnets of a rotor to form a magnetic flux loop of armature reaction and also an output torsion. The strength of the magnetic lines of force of the magnetic flux loop of armature reaction depends on the magnitude of the output torsion of motor.
For a conventional motor, tooth-holding ends of a stator thereof are symmetrically arranged left and right. If the cogging torque of the motor is to be reduced, the spacing
217
between adjacent tooth holders is preferred to be smaller, as shown in FIG.

A. There will be a magnetic reluctance relation generated between adjacent tooth-holding ends. The magnitude of this magnetic reluctance depends on the magnitude of the spacing between two adjacent tooth-holding ends. The smaller the spacing
217
, the lower the magnetic reluctance, and the lower the cogging torque of motor and the smoother the operation. However, if the exciting current is raised, the magnetic lines of force of the electromagnetic field generated by the exciting coils will be larger. If the magnetic reluctance between the above two adjacent tooth-holding ends is at a low level, there will be interlinked magnetic lines of force
412
due to self coupling between adjacent tooth-holders, as shown in FIG.
1
B. Because the interlinked magnetic lines of force
412
due to self coupling do not flow through permanent magnets
311
of the rotor (i.e., the interlinked magnetic lines of force
412
due to self coupling will not generate torsion effect of armature reaction), the armature reaction of the motor will inevitably be weakened. Therefore, the output torsion of the motor will be reduced, and also the operational efficiency of the motor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to propose a stator structure with single-arm tooth holders, which can keep a lower cogging torque in the rotation direction of a motor at the same time of raising the magnetic reluctance between adjacent tooth holders of the stator.
FIG. 1A
is an assembly diagram of a stator and a rotor of a conventional motor with symmetric tooth holders, wherein the spacing
217
between two adjacent tooth holders is designed to be smaller. This design will inevitably let a magneto motor have a lower cogging torque. Therefore, smooth operation can be accomplished for both the operations of forward and reverse rotations. However, the magnetic reluctance of magnetic lines of force
41
between two adjacent tooth holders will be smaller. If a larger exciting current is inputted into the magneto motor, the magnetic lines of force
41
generated by exciting coils of the stator will be stronger. Part of the above magnetic lines of force
412
will thus be interlinked due to self coupling between adjacent stator tooth holders. Because the interlinked magnetic lines of force
412
due to self coupling cannot generate reaction force of armature reaction between the rotor and the stator, the operational efficiency of output torsion of the motor will thus be reduced.
The present invention can let a magneto motor operating under a unidirectional operation of heavy load keep a high operational efficiency and stable rotation. If the operational efficiency under a unidirectional operation of heavy load is to be kept at the same time of having a lower cogging torque (stable rotation), it is necessary to reserve the tooth holder in the same rotation direction of each tooth-holding end of the stator and cut the other tooth holder in the reverse direction. Because the stator's tooth holders in the rotation direction of heavy load are not cut, wider outer edge faces
220
corresponding to rotary surfaces
313
of the rotor are reserved. In other words, the original lower cogging torque is kept in the rotation direction of heavy load. Therefore, the motor will have a stable and smooth operation. The tooth holders at the reverse side are cut to enlarge the spacing
218
between adjacent tooth holders, hence enlarging the magnetic reluctance between adjacent tooth holders. The magnetic reluctance of air gap of the outer edge faces
220
corresponding to the rotary surfaces
313
of the rotor will be much lower than the magnetic reluctance between adjacent single-arm tooth holders
218
. The magnetic lines of force
41
generated by exciting coils of the stator will naturally flow to the rotor so that the stator and the rotor can generate magnetic lines of force flowing between them to accomplish complete armature reaction of the motor, as shown in FIG.

C. Therefore, the operational efficiency and the stability of rotation of the magneto motor operating under a heavy load will be enhanced.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing, in which:
